I'm sure someone somewhere asked for more...here you go duder.

I highly recommend the entire commentary track over here. It's a great way to support the Drift King of video game websites. You can watch more silly Fast and Furious videos I made in this handy playlist. Enjoy, duder.

They said it would never happen. They were wrong.

This time in glorious 720p. I made this one shorter since I don't want people to watch this and not listen to the full commentary. It's a great way to rewatch these movies, I highly recommend you check out the full episode of Film & 40s.

You can watch the previous Best of Film & 40s over on this handy dandy playlist. Thanks for watching, bro.

I loved the commentary GB East did for the first Fast and Furious movie that I had to make this.

Sorry about the video quality, turns out YouTube is not a huge fan of hosting clips from movies. I lowered the video quality and tried mirroring the video and that seemed to work. The audio is still fine. Enjoy :)

I made a video using the GB East commentary for The Fast and the Furious.

I also made a best of video but it's a bit too long. I think this deserved its own video. I might upload the other one later. It depends if YouTube takes it down.

About two years ago I wrote about how I had a bunch of old "On the Spot" episodes from 2004-2007. While I planned on uploading and annotating these lost episodes, I got lazy, forgot, and never wrote another blog post about it. Well that ends today. The long awaited second post for Classic Bomb is live.

What is Classic Bomb you might ask? It's where I go through and annotate old episodes of "On The Spot," a old Gamespot show that many of the staff of Giant Bomb were the hosts on. Gamespot's website no longer has these videos so it is up to me to make sure this content lives on.

Today we get to relive Fall 2004 with the launch of both PSP and DS, a violent video game debate, and speculate about future video game boxes (spoiler: it's called an Xbox 360).

LET'S DO THIS!

Hosts: Rich Gallup, Ryan Davis, Bryan Ekberg

In this episode we get a first look at World of Warcraft which was released a month before. We also get a preview of the PSP in Japan and some predictions of the next generation of consoles.

Love how Rich talks about next-gen and how the games at launch will look good but at the end of the next gen consoles, they will look amazing. Perfect Dark Zero to The Last of Us?

Classic Bomb #1: Let's Watch "On The Spot!"

I have been a long time reader and viewer of Giant Bomb and before that, GameSpot. A couple years ago I decided that it would be a great idea to download and watch the "On The Spot" archive, you know, the old GameSpot liveshow that had many of the Giant Bomb duders. I just found these videos after backing up my PC and since they are nowhere to be found, I think it would be fun to finally start watching these and archive them back to THE INTERNET for all to enjoy.

Hopefully I will also be able to find some funny or informative segments too. I did already upload a "Quick Look" of Gears of War a couple years ago.

Will I really watch all 144 episodes? Will I really timestamp the show segments? Will I learn VirtualDub and Adobe Premiere while editing these videos? Will @jeff have blonde hair? Only the future can tell

(No I don't have every episode, many of the download links on the old GameSpot site were dead. Now then, let's get this train rolling.)

The best part is when they start talking about this Final Fantasy 11 clock that shows the game's clock and it costs $45. I don't even know what to think about that. The big friday show also spends some serious time talking about A Dog's Life. Yes, that Dog's Life. Brad continues to be bad at video games as well.

I think I will write some video game stuff soon...but for now i need XP!
